Geordie Richards is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Guelph. He received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Toronto in 2012. Between 2012 and 2022, Dr. Richards held various academic positions including Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications at the University of Minnesota, Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester, and Assistant Professor at Utah State University. He also served as Teaching Stream Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga. His current research focuses on the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) arising from physics and engineering applications, particularly modeling fluid and dispersive wave-like phenomena. Richards has made significant contributions to the random data Cauchy theory of dispersive PDEs and is involved in the study of ergodic theory and stochastic PDEs. He is committed to applying his research to engineering applications, particularly in quantifying uncertainties in nonlinear dynamics and collaborating with scientists and engineers.
